Durham--Just Another Coverup?

Andrea Widburg at American Thinker provides her own summary of the latest Durham revelations that have the internet—or the intelligent/conservative portion of it buzzing. At the end her piece Widburg quotes Sundance:

Preliminarily,

The obvious question is: If Rodney Joffe is spying on the office of the president, why hasn’t he been indicted?

That’s just one question, though. The real problem, which Sundance places at the head of his post, is this:

CTH begins every outline of the ongoing Durham investigation with the following disclaimer: How is John Durham going to reveal everything that is possible about the deep state Trump targeting operation, and simultaneously handle the involvement of Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann and the Special Counsel team who were specifically appointed to cover it up?

The short answer is, Durham can’t. The ramifications would collapse the U.S. government; yes, all three collaborating branches.

As a consequence, some of these revelations are only valuable insofar as they will be needed by historians who look upon the scattered rubble of this once great republic and seek to explain to future generations how it all went wrong.

In other words, the Durham investigation is almost certainly just another cover-up. The Russia Hoax is a huge infection in the American body politic. It was Mueller’s responsibility, and it’s now Durham’s, to hide that infection. To that end, Durham is going to focus America’s attention on a few hangnails and scratches, in the hope it deflects us from the fact that the American political system is dying from sepsis. I would love to see Durham expose the whole festering mess, and I’d happily eat my words, but I don’t see that happening.

There are some very short answers to this view. We’ve all known for a long time that the Russia Hoax bag contains a cat. Durham, with his investigation still proceeding, has opened that bag and the cat is out. Specifics.

First, there’s a very obvious reason why Joffe hasn’t been indicted, which Sundance—neither a lawyer nor a professional investigator—misses. It’s because Durham is targeting him for cooperation. There’s only one reason a member of a conspiracy is targeted for cooperation, and that’s because that person was acting at the behest of someone higher up the ladder who exercised overall control of the conspiracy. There may still be people on the ladder below the very top, but in case you didn’t get it—the cat that’s now totally out of the bad is named Hillary Rodham Clinton (my reasoning below, pasted in from last night).

Second, Widburg somehow missed that the person she refers to as “Campaign Lawyer” Numero Uno is a true Big Fish in the Dem party apparatus and has already testified before Durham’s Grand Jury. This person has a name, and that name is Marc Elias. The reason he has yet to be indicted is the same reason that Rodney Joffe hasn’t been indicted—see above.

Third, regarding the name of the cat that’s now completely out of the bag. My reasoning, from Did The Hillary Org Spy On President Trump. This reasoning is based on the fact that Michael Sussmann—who is under indictment—attempted to use the non-public material he and Joffe gathered to persuade the CIA to revive the Russia Hoax:

The tie-in to Sussmann is this: Sussmann is known to have gone to the CIA with “information” against Trump in February, 2017. A very reasonable hypothesis is that Sussmann went to the CIA, in a sense, fronting for Joffe and associates. But a further very reasonable hypothesis is that Sussmann would never in a million years have done that simply as front man for Rodney Joffe, because that involved revealing spying activity against the POTUS. Sussmann would only have taken that risk if he was acting on behalf of a person who could provide him with the necessary political protection that would also shield him from criminal liability. Can you say, Hillary R. Clinton? I can, because that’s where the logic of the situation inexorably leads us.

Now, Techno Fog floats an alternative theory, in the form of a question:

One can’t help ask why Joffe (via Sussmann) risked legal exposure to continue to push false Trump-Russia allegations before and after the 2016 election. First to the FBI in 2016 then to the CIA in 2017. It seems that Joffe was desperate, and his desperation only increased after Trump’s election.

Indeed, one cannot help asking that question! But why jump to the theory of personal desperation so quickly—which Techno Fog admits is speculation?

The source of Joffe’s desperation? It’s speculation at this point, but perhaps it goes to the origins of the purported Russia/DNC hack. To revise a previous question we have asked:

What if Crowdstrike was a patsy, there to unknowingly reach false conclusions of a “Russian hack” based on fraudulent information provided to them by Rodney Joffe and Perkins Coie and the DNC/Hillary Campaign?

We don’t have an answer to that question - yet. Maybe we never will. But if anything, it seems likely that we will see an indictment of Rodney Joffe.

As I read that, Techno Fog appears to be arguing that Joffe was desperate because he feared that Crowdstrike would reveal to some reputable and committed federal law enforcement organization that Crowdstrike had unknowingly relied on fraudulent data provided by Joffe. Color me unconvinced. Crowdstrike had its own deep political connections and, IMO, would only take such action under extreme pressure from an incorruptible federal law enforcement agency. Which is a roundabout way of saying: That wasn’t about to happen in DC as we know it.

Therefore, I‘ll stick with my very reasonable hypothesis until proven wrong.

Doc Shipwreckedcrew buys into my scenario as well, and was quick off the mark—because this is all so logical and reasonable:

Remember -- Hillary was supposed to win and no one was supposed to ever find out about the pre-election stuff. When Trump won, a massive and desperate clean-up operation was needed.... Or Trump needed to be driven from office ASAP. That is all.

The cat is well and truly out of the bag and has been identified—for all who aren’t willfully blind. Durham is doing his job to the best of his ability. Probably better and more thoroughly than anyone had a right to expect, and this ain’t no coverup. The only reason what is already known—that Hillary attempted a coup by fraud against President Trump and the American Republic—would only be used for historical research purposes (Sundance’s claim) is because the American people are too corrupted to care about their own political and social welfare and/or can’t find a leader who cares.
